Outside Alaska, his work has been heard on NPR and National Native News. Casey has a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Oregon and an associate’s in radio broadcasting from Mt.

Matt Moonlighting as the Purple Panda

Matt Miller
Matt Miller has been KTOO’s Morning Edition host for more than 10 years. Matt produces the local news segments that are woven into national content from NPR as well as reporting on Juneau and Alaska news. His professional radio career has been exclusively in Alaska, starting with the early realization that he could actually get paid to spin vinyl and talk at a Kodiak public radio station. He then moved to journalism just before the Exxon Valdez oil spill and has continued in commercial and public radio working as reporter or news director at stations in Wrangell, Juneau, and Skagway-Haines. His journalism experience ranges from coverage of municipal government to the Alaska Legislature, courts and legal issues, science, Alaskan history, and any story that allows the reporter to take full advantage of the radio medium. His stories have been carried by state and national networks and he’s won numerous awards from state and regional press associations. Most of his spare time is taken up with whittling down a never-ending list of home improvement projects and playing in the Alaskan outdoors.

Telling Tales

Ms.G
Ms.G has been hosting “Telling Tales with Ms. G”, (formally “Left Hanging”), since September, 2009. Stories have always held a fascination for her. As she describes, “I can literally taste, hear and feel a story and the characters while reading it. So when I’m considering what story to read for a show I think about how it makes me feel and imagine and try to bring that forth with my voice for the listener. Regardless of the story content I want the listener to have an experience. I want them to like the story of course, but more importantly I want the story to be memorable, not necessarily me, the story.”

John and Dolly Kremers
John and Dolly are the dynamic duo that engineers many of our local productions. When not “running the board” for our community hosts, they can be found walking friends’ dogs, jogging through town, or checking out the stars.
